Therefore, the sintered R-T-B based magnets are used for various uses including various types of motors such as voice coil motors (VCM) of hard disc drives, motors for electric vehicles (EV, HV, PHV) and motors for industrial equipment, home appliance products, and the like.
  • VCM voice coil motors
  • EV, HV, PHV motors for electric vehicles
  • the sintered R-T-B based magnets decrease the size and the weight of various types of motors and the like, and thus contribute to energy savings and environmental load reduction.
  • Such a sintered R-T-B based magnet is produced by a method including a step of preparing an alloy powder, a step of pressing the alloy powder to form a compact, a step of sintering the compact, and the like.

  • a method for producing a sintered R-T-B based magnet includes a sintering step of sintering a compact of an R-T-B based alloy powder.
  • the sintering step includes a first-stage step of heating the compact to a first sintering temperature T1 to form a first-stage sintered body, a cooling step of decreasing the temperature of the first-stage sintered body to a cooling temperature T0, and a second-stage step of heating the first-stage sintered body to a second sintering temperature T2 to form a second-stage sintered body.
  • the first sintering temperature T1 and the second sintering temperature T2 are higher than 900° C.
  • the cooling temperature T0 is not higher than 900° C.
  • a first sintering time t1, for which the first sintering temperature T1 is maintained in the first-stage step, is shorter than a second sintering time t2, for which the second sintering temperature T2 is maintained in the second-stage step.
  • the first sintering temperature T1 and the second sintering temperature T2 are not lower than 1000° C. and not higher than 1100° C.
  • the first sintering temperature T1 is not lower than 1040° C. and lower than 1080° C.
  • the second sintering temperature T2 is not lower than 1020° C. and lower than 1060° C.
  • the first sintering time t1 is not shorter than 30 minutes and not longer than 2 hours
  • the second sintering time t2 is not shorter than 1 hour and not longer than 15 hours.
  • the first sintering time t1 is not longer than a half of the second sintering time t2.
  • the cooling temperature T0 is not lower than 700° C. and is not higher than 900° C.
  • the alloy powder has a composition containing R at a content not lower than 28% by mass and not higher than 35% by mass, B at a content not lower than 0.8% by mass and not higher than 1.20% by mass, T at a content not lower than 61.5% by mass, and satisfying 14[B]/10.8 ⁇ [T]/55.85 where [B] is a content of B represented with % by mass and [T] is a content of T represented with % by mass.
  • a method for producing a sintered R-T-B based magnet capable of realizing high H cJ and high H k /H cJ is provided.
  • FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a sintering step according to the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 2 schematically shows an example of temperature profile of heat treatment targets (compact and sintered body) in the sintering step in an embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 is schematically shows another example of temperature profile of the heat treatment targets (compact and sintered body) in the sintering step in the embodiment.

  • FIG. 5 is schematically shows yet another example of temperature profile of the heat treatment targets (compact and sintered body) in the sintering step in the embodiment.
  • R is a rare-earth element and contains at least one selected from the group consisting of Nd, Pr and Ce with no exception.
  • T is at least one transition metal and contains Fe with no exception.
  • the method for producing a sintered R-T-B based magnet in this embodiment includes:
  • the first sintering temperature T1 and the second sintering temperature T2 are higher than 900° C., and the cooling temperature T0 is not higher than 900° C.
  • a first sintering time t1, for which the first sintering temperature T1 is maintained in the first-stage step, is shorter than a second sintering time t2, for which the second sintering temperature T2 is maintained in the second-stage step.
  • a sintered R-T-B based magnet includes crystal grains of an Nd 2 Fe 14 B phase (ferromagnetic) as a main phase and an intermetallic compound, such as a B-rich phase rich in boron (B), an Nd-rich phase or the like, located at boundaries of the crystal grains of the main phase.
  • a sintering reaction is caused to proceed by generation of a liquid phase that is contained in powder particles forming the compact and involves such a phase. On a stage where the amount of the liquid phase is insufficient, a reaction of generating a dense texture does not occur. As the amount of the liquid phase increases along with the increase in the temperature, the reaction of generating a dense texture proceeds rapidly.
  • the liquid phase which is generated by a part of the intermetallic compound in the powder particles being melted during the sintering, modifies surfaces of the crystal grains of the main phase or reduces an oxide, while the grains are bound and become dense progressively.
  • H cJ and H,/H cJ may occasionally be decreased unexpectedly due to variations or dispersion in the composition of an alloy powder and in the production conditions. It has also been found out that this phenomenon is conspicuous in the case where the composition ratio of B contained in the sintered R-T-B based magnet is low. It is difficult to avoid the dispersion in the composition of the alloy powder and in the production conditions. Therefore, it is required to realize high H cJ and high H k /H cJ even when there is dispersion in the composition of the alloy powder and in the production conditions.
  • the sintering time is set to be long (for example, 25 hours). However, this extends the sintering time and deteriorates the mass-productivity. In the case where the sintering step is performed at a lower sintering temperature in an attempt to prevent the deterioration in the mass-productivity, the crystal grains exhibit abnormal growth, which may possibly deteriorate the magnetic characteristics rapidly.
  • the sintering needs to be performed so as to avoid the abnormal growth of the crystal grains.
  • the present inventors have found out that the optimal sintering conditions to obtain a dense and uniform crystal texture vary.
  • the present inventors made further investigations based on such knowledge, and as a result, have found out the following.
  • first-stage step to promote formation of a dense texture
  • second-stage step to further sintered
  • a dense and uniform crystal texture is realized even when there is dispersion in the composition of the alloy powder and in the production conditions.
  • a sintered magnet having high H cJ and high H k /H cJ is provided without the sintering being performed for a long time.
  • H k which is one of the parameters defining H k /H cJ , is generally determined as follows.
  • the intensity of magnetization is J
  • the intensity of the magnetic field is H
  • the reading on the H axis of the position at which J has a value of 0.9 ⁇ J r is used.
  • FIG. 2 through FIG. 5 examples of the steps S 10 , S 20 and S 30 mentioned above will be described in more detail.
  • These figures show graphs in which the horizontal axis represents the time and the vertical axis represents the temperature.
  • the graphs schematically show examples of temperature profile of the heat treatment targets (compact and sintered body) in the sintering step.
  • the temperature of such a heat treatment target is measured by a thermometer installed in a sintering device (sintering furnace), such as a thermocouple or the like.
  • the actual temperature of the compact or the sintered body and the reading (measured temperature value) indicated by the thermometer in the sintering furnace do not need to be precisely equal to each other, and a tolerance of ⁇ 5° or less is permitted.
  • the thick solid line represents the relationship between the temperature and the time.
  • the time is an elapsed time from the start of the sintering step.
  • the unit of the elapsed time is, for example, hour, but alternatively, may be minute or second.
  • the temperature is a temperature value measured by the thermometer as described above, but is substantially equal to a set temperature designated by a temperature control program.
  • the thick solid line is formed of straight line segments, but the actual temperature or the set temperature may change in a curve.
  • the temperature of the treatment target increases monotonously from room temperature to the first sintering temperature T1, and the temperature rise rate is constant.
  • the temperature rise rate does not need to be constant, and there may be a period in the middle where the temperature rise rate is zero.
